Camp WhanawhanaThere it is, the Ngaruroro River glistening and twinkling in the sunlight for all of us to see. We are listening to the beautiful bird cacophony. The sun is shining through the pearly white clouds that are hanging over the Ngaruroro River. While we spent the rest of the day clambering over sticks, prickles and logs, flying over the tree tops while looking at the outstanding scenery and swimming in the bitter, benumbed and arctic Ngaruroro River.
Flying Kiwi Most people would agree that the flying kiwi is not something you would do at home. First you need Kiwi adventure staff to help you, then you put on a harness. Then a helmet. One of the kiwi adventure staff will clip you up to a rope that is thread through a pulley and two more long bits of rope are attached to the pulley. When you are ready you shout kiwi ready and they shout fly kiwi fly.
You will need Two trees Rope People Pulley Harness Helmet Sleeping in the bivi. Only a fool would think sleeping in the bivi was hard. As you listen to the wind you feel like you're floating in the air. It seems a bit weird that you boil in a bivi. I sleep like a baby in bivvies. The room gets stuffy. Words of advice don’t sleep in Matt’s bivi. Instructions to sleeping in the bivi. 1. You need two trees about 5 metres apart. 2. A 5 metre by 5 metre tarpaulin and a long piece of rope. 3. Tie the rope between the two trees and fold the tarpaulin over the rope to make the triangle shape. 4. Put two big rocks on each corner. 5. Grab another piece of tarp and put it under the bivi and roll your sleeping bag over it. You will need A bed role Sleeping bag Rope Trees Rocks And flat surface .The sound of the birds in the morning brings a peaceful awakening. With the camp Whanawhana sun shining through the trees it was making stripes on our faces making galloping zebras on our faces. The cliffs over the lake, motionless, senseless. Making it look like a sleeping giant.
With the dedication of the staff we always had a smile and a laugh on our faces. They have a great way to teach children. We put our safety in their hands and they kept us safe, happy and proud.
Abseiling Are we expected to clamber over stones, trudge through running rapids and wade through one gigantic puddle? Yes. Surely you would agree that kids like me should fall bum first off a cliff and conquer our fear. Yes again. Maybe some people wouldn’t agree with me there.
How to Abseil
You will need 1. A cliff 2. Harness 3. Camera (optional) 4. Helmet 5. Rope. 6. Adult. 7. Carabineer 8. Strong tree. 9. Soft place for landing
· Put a harness and helmet on · Walk to the top of the cliff · Tie a rope to your harness and give to an adult, after tying to a strong tree. · (Optional) get someone to take your photo · Lean back bum first off the cliff to go down. · Have the adult feed the rope through their hands so you go down. · You will have fun. Make sure you have soft landing.
TUBE RAFTING Most people would agree that river rafting is fun and great, but also cold. I had an adrenalin rush at the start, but I want to know what you feel? It’s also a task to help build up your team work skills. It’s a challenge but a cool thing to do.
You will need to Tie two tubes together then put on a helmet and buoyancy aid to keep you afloat in the water. You need to get some paddles then put your tube into the water, spread out around the tube. This is to keep it balanced. Make sure you keep out of strainers and rapids that are to strong.
